ASSIGNMENT
LESSON 3: HIGH QUALITY ASSESSMENT COMPONENTS
PED 111
1. What are the latest trends in Educational Assessment? (Give at least five)
The latest trends in Educational Assessment are as follows:
i. Online Learning
ii. Distance Learning
iii. Blended Learning
iv. Social-emotional Learning
v. Homeschooling
2. Why is accountability and fairness important?
One of the primary goals of performance-based accountability is to urge schools to
prioritize improving performance over all else. Everyone who is held accountable has an
incentive to guarantee that performance improves—or, at the absolute least, that it does not
deteriorate.
On the other hand, promoting justice in the classroom not only earns respect for the
instructor, but also provides kids with a sense of safety and trust in the classroom. Creating
an environment based on fairness, trust, and respect will benefit all of the students in the
class.
3. Describe:
a. Standard-based education – is a wide notion that refers to systems of instruction,
assessment, grading, and academic reporting that are focused on students
demonstrating anticipated mastery of information and abilities as they progress
through their education.
b. Outcomes-based education – (OBE) is education that focuses on a clearly stated
understanding of what students are expected to know and be able to accomplish,
that is, what skills and knowledge they must have when they leave the school
system.
4. What is an Item Response theory? Discuss how is it being used in educational
assessment?
Item response theory (IRT) was initially introduced in the discipline of
psychometrics to measure ability. It is commonly used in education to calibrate and assess
questions in exams, questionnaires, and other instruments, as well as to score respondents
on their talents, attitudes, or other latent characteristics.
